The downside? They are on their way back to the US. Why can't the plane be diverted to somewhere else where they could feel useful...maybe they would like to hug icebergs at the North or South pole? Or hug a few trees in the Brazillian rain forest? Or investigate the shark population in the South Pacific (without a diving suit or cage)...

Thirty-two Americans associated with the feminist anti-war activist group Code Pink are in Pakistan for a march from Islamabad to that country's tumultuous tribal belt to protest American drone strikes that reportedly kill civilians along with their terrorist targets.
Code Pink members donned giant vagina costumes at the Republican National Convention in August, but according to two group members contacted by U.S. News, participants will be modestly dressed in the conservative Muslim area.
Alli McCracken, who said she was one of the 24 American women in the contingent, said via an E-mail that Obama is "worse than Bush in some respects; he uses drones significantly more than Bush ever did, allowing him to carry out covert wars all over the world with zero accountability to Congress or the American public."

Obama, according to McCracken, has shown "total disregard for international law" when authorizing these strikes. Asked if Obama had authorized "murder," McCracken said, "Yes, as far as we know - and we know very little, since the drone program in Pakistan is operated by the CIA, and therefore cloaked in secrecy."
Medea Benjamin, one of Code Pink's leaders, is also in Pakistan for the march. We "are concerned about our safety, but more concerned about the safety of the people on the region, who live everyday with the threat of being obliterated by a hellfire missile," Benjamin said in an E-mail.

TALIBAN THREATENS TO BOMB CODE PINK DEMONSTRATION IN PAKISTAN AGAINST U.S. DRONE STRIKES

(TheBlaze/AP) — About three dozen American anti-war activists are headed toward Pakistan’s militant-riddled tribal belt to protest U.S. drone strikes, but a faction of the Taliban has warned that suicide bombers will prevent their demonstration.

The anti-war activists– many of whom are from the far left women’s organization Code Pink– are reportedly joined by thousands of Pakistanis in their march, and their motorcade is being led by ex-cricket star turned politician Imran Khan. Militants have dismissed Khan as a mere tool of the West despite his condemnation of the drone strikes, which have killed many Islamist insurgent leaders.

Odds are, the Taliban aren’t too crazy about getting help from women who dress up as giant vaginas either.

Pakistanis in small towns and villages along the roughly 400-kilometer (250-mile) route warmly welcomed the 150-plus vehicle convoy, however. Footage broadcast on Pakistani TV showed people showering rose petals on the motorcade, but by late Saturday it appeared increasingly less likely that the protesters would reach their ultimate destination. The South Waziristan tribal area, where the group hoped to stage a major rally, is simply too dangerous.
